DMI Assessment Highlights ICT, Cybersecurity and Data Gaps at Ghana’s GMET
The assessment was conducted under the Strategic Sector Cooperation on Weather and Climate between Ghana and Denmark, with the aim of supporting the development of a robust digital architecture that can improve GMET’s operational efficiency and service delivery.
The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) , in collaboration with the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMET) and CBrain Consulting, has presented the findings of an IT and Digitalisation Gap Analysis Assessment conducted for GMET to Ghana’s Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations.
The findings were presented to Deputy Minister Hon. Mohammed Adam Sukparu, on behalf of Sector Minister Hon. Samuel Nartey George, during a stakeholder meeting held at the Ministry on August 19, 2026. The engagement forms part of efforts to strengthen GMET’s digital transformation and improve its capacity to deliver technology-driven weather and climate services.
The delegation was led by DMI Director-General Marianne Thyrring and GMET Director-General Eric Asuman, while Christ Declercq, Regional Manager at CBrain Consulting, presented the findings and recommendations of the assessment.
The assessment reviewed GMET’s ICT infrastructure, digital systems, data governance, cybersecurity framework, business processes and digital capabilities, identifying key gaps and recommending interventions to support the Agency’s digital transformation.
The assessment was conducted under the Strategic Sector Cooperation on Weather and Climate between Ghana and Denmark, with the aim of supporting the development of a robust digital architecture that can improve GMET’s operational efficiency and service delivery.
During the engagement, DMI also shared its experience and lessons from its own digital transformation journey, providing potential insights for GMET as it works to modernise its IT infrastructure and digital systems.
Deputy Minister Sukparu welcomed the assessment and stressed the need to translate its findings into a practical and sustainable implementation roadmap. He said strengthening GMET’s digital capabilities is critical to improving the management and use of meteorological data, enhancing service delivery and supporting evidence-based decision-making across sectors that depend on accurate weather and climate information.
The meeting also explored possible implementation scenarios arising from the report and potential areas of collaboration between the Ministry, GMET and development partners to address the identified digitalisation gaps.
